Toasting Nuts: Turning Ordinary Ingredients into Extraordinary Flavour

Nuts and seeds are fabulous ingredients. They have a wonderful array of flavours and smells, they can add texture and they can be used as décor. However so often they are used in ways that miss out on their great flavour, smell and colour. For example, how often do we see untoasted almonds sprinkled on a cake or dessert? It should not happen as they don’t look good and they do not add any real flavour.
